so as I already posted, I was having an allergic reaction to my upgraded halo ring. I got a few months ago. I had remounted my princess cut solitaire into a split shank halo. Both were white gold. But I have developed dishydrotic eczema, and the nickel is causing severe outbreaks. So I thought we were going to remount into a platinum halo that I picked out. I wanted to upgrade my diamond to a 2 ct round solitaire, but after talking to hubby. That didn’t seem like it would happen for awhile. Well he sold my diamond yesterday, and bought me a 2ct round solitair! Now I have to decide on the mounting asap. I still have my halo mounting to trade in. And I have two rings that I love that are completely different.

option 1- Gabriel halo in platinum 1.1 tcw

this is another bees picture I found on Pinterest a while ago

option 2- whiteflash Classic 6 prong Tiffany replica, in 18k yellow gold, possibly platinum. And then trading my mounting in on a wedding band like one of the following pictures, all are pictures from Pinterest

alabamagirl: lol that’s the way I have been leaning. I actually had my mind made up last night on the solitaire in yellow gold, and then tossed and turned and thought about it all night. Making myself crazy….

how do yall feel about yellow gold? i always hate it, but it has grown on me a lot in my searching over the past few months, and i cant wear white gold. i was going with platinum, but i keep seeing pictures and posts where the platinum does not stay looking very nice….

I vote for solitaire. I find when looking at the photos on this board that when the stone is big (like yours) nothing is more beautiful than a solitaire. It really lets the stone show off. I think halos are better when the stone is small and you are trying to maximize the figure coverage/overall bling look.

Honestly, a 2-carat solitaire on a plain band and a 2-carat in a halo on a pave band are 2 VERY different looks. I don’t know that many people would be equally happy with either option — most people would love one and never even consider the other due to style/taste preferences. So I don’t think anyone else’s opinions matter here and it comes down to the kind of ring you want to see on your finger everyday.
